katlovesfries's manga / #romance(34)

SUMMARY ["Mr. Ghost, won't you tell me your name now?"] I like the composition of the story. It's very short, but at the same time, it's surprisingly impactful. Basically, two lovers who can't be together in the same timeline - thereby, right person, wrong time.

SUMMARY [“…I want to sculpt you into a form that never changes.” In a city full of high-rise buildings, Mathew Rayner, a sculpture student who, aside from his art, lives isolated from the rest of the world. He unexpectedly meets a captivating man named Jin and feels a fated connection. Mathew offers him a proposal: be his model. Contrary to his intentions, the relationship between the two becomes more and more warped...In a grim world stained with dirty money and betrayal, Mathew steels his nerves as he approaches the executive of the Shinhae Faction, Jin Cheong-woo, and gives him a new ambition... “However, there are conditions: First, you must obey my words unconditionally.” A man who built a wall between himself and the world, and another who looks down on the world, both concealing their true desires.] Loved this, and I wouldn't mind reading it again. The artwork is beautiful, and I can't wait for more updates, and to be honest, who doesn't love men with glasses?

SUMMARY [Half vampire and A-list celebrity, Ethan Blackwell keeps his vampiric urges at bay by feeding off the energy of his adoring fans. His world unexpectedly takes a turn when he meets up-and-coming star, Tristan Montgomery who poses a threat to his popularity and energy source. Coerced into working with one another on an upcoming film, the two unexpectedly develop a chemistry much stronger than what can be captured on camera. False claims to fame, sex, lies, and hidden identities unfold to jeopardize the livelihood of both stars.. Ethan and Tristan must choose to confront one another or put aside their differences and risk falling deeper into desire.] This is such a good read. I never thought I would enjoy something with vampires after Twilight, but here we are. The artwork is stunning, and the plot is interesting as well. This is definitely one I would consider re-reading in the future.

SUMMARY [There are a few unusual things about Cafe Goyo. Number one, their coffee sucks. Number two, their customers never order off the menu. And number three, Yohan, the cafe manager, is deaf. So when Soohwa joins as a part-timer, though he is not expected to learn how to make good coffee, he is asked to expand his sign language vocabulary beyond the words, “higher,” “pay,” and “please.” But when Yohan offers to give him private lessons, Soohwa is reluctant. Not because he doesn’t want to study, but because he has a “hard” time around Yohan. Like, literally. He gets hard. Whenever he hears Yohan’s deep, sexy voice.] Cute, cute, cute. This is a must-read in the yaoi genre. I love the fact that one of the main characters is deaf. The plot is good, and I realy enjoyed the experience of reading it. Would recommend for someone who craves a sweet romance to get through a bad day.

SUMMARY [Every night at 10, Dong-gyun locks himself up in his room, grabs a box of tissues, and watches a live cam boy show hosted by Alex, a BJ (broadcast jockey). Timid Dong-gyun admires not only Alex’s ripped body, but his candor in sharing his sexual experiences with viewers. One night, Dong-gyun downs too many drinks at a school networking event and passes out. When he wakes up, he’s in bed staring up at a shirtless hunk. A hunk who looks an awful lot like...Alex.] Stunning art, that's all I'm gonna say. Anyway, I liked the begnning of this manhwa, and it was interesting to see the development of the relationship, even though Alex was a bit of an asshole.

SUMMARY [An accident survivor deals with his nightmares by sleeping around with different people ever night... until one of said partners doesn't wish leave him alone. With convincing words and acts, the survivor listens.] I rarely read oneshots, but this convinced me to read more. This is a realistic view on escapism, and I really like Hugo for being so fluffy about his love for Haru.

SUMMARY [Yuudai is a "in the closet" gay. He puts up a straight perverted front for everyone. He is so used to lying he can't confess and come out to his crush, Kimikazu. One night however, after a drinking party, Kimikazu shows his interest... Will Yuudai be able to be his true self?] I really like that this oneshot puts focus on not feeling safe with coming out to your friends or family. My heart was breaking a bit, when the two of them couldn't be honest with each other, but the ending made me extremely happy.

SUMMARY [Suzuhara lives in a cheep apartment which has way to thin walls; whenever his neighbour Nishino brings home girls for the night, Suzuhara can hear all of it! At first it only annoys Suzuhara but when his long time crush, Nakayama, asks to borrow Suzuhara's a apartment so he can have sex with his new girlfriend, everything changes.] I really love Nishino's and Suzuhara's dynamic and the development of their relationship. Though, I must say my heart broke a little when Suzuhara saw that woman leave Nishino's apartment, but, at least, it has a happy ending. I also love the artwork, and how the characters were drawn.

SUMMARY [Nothing crazy ever happens to Jooin. He’s just your average college student, keeping his head down and flying under the radar. Yahwi, on the other hand, is drop dead gorgeous, super popular…but also kinda mean. So why has the campus heartthrob taken an interest in a total nobody? There must be an ulterior motive…but it’s hard to care when faced with those killer looks. Will Jooin become a slave to his desires? Or perhaps he’ll become the master himself…] I read this manhwa a couple of months ago, but to be honest, I don't have recollection of the bigger picture of the story. The artwork is beautiful and it certainly a some cute, fluffy moments as well. This is not, however, a manwha that I would consider re-reading. But overall, I remember my reading experience as being pleasent.

SUMMARY [A guy spots a merman, thinking that he would never able to meet once in real life. They form a friendship which soon turns into something more.] This is the first time I've ever read something with a merman, and had no idea what to expect. I love Lance's and Keith's dyamic - they're so cute together. But that's all. The smutty parts were fine, just not my cup of tea, and I don't believe I would read this type of story again.
